| - | '''Crackotage''' is a member of the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He is a jet pilot (he's "that guy that flies [[Crackotage's Plane|that plane]]") and possibly a master locksmith. His name implies that his main roles are sabotage and infiltration. He saved [[Gunhaver]], [[Silent Rip]], [[Fightgar]], and [[Firebert]] from exhaustion when they were in the secret desert by dropping [[Cheat Commandos O's Cereal|Cheat Commandos...O's]] from his plane. He has a twin brother, [[Subtlefuge]], who leads a band of mercenaries known as the [[Topplegangers]]. Like Fightgar, Crackotage does not wear clothes except for a piece of weaponry on his body, which in this case is the utility belt around his waist. He also wears headphones and [[Wikipedia:Dog tag|dog tags]]. | + | '''Crackotage''' is a member of the [[Cheat Commandos]].

| - | He usually speaks in rhyming couplets capped by a distinctive laugh, almost certainly a parody of the ''G.I. Joe'' character [[Wikipedia:Roadblock (G.I. Joe)|Roadblock]] and perhaps also [[Wikipedia:Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]] and [[Wikipedia:Wheelie (Transformers)|Wheelie]] from the original ''[[Transformers]]'' cartoon, who also did this. Interestingly, his actual ''tone'' of voice sounds very close to [[Wikipedia:Jazz (Transformers)|Jazz]] from "Transformers" (as voiced by [[Wikipedia:Scatman Crothers|Scatman Crothers]]), and a label on Crackotage's toy packaging claims he "listens to jazz". Another "Transformers" reference could be how his airplane resembles [[Wikipedia:Starscream|Starscream]].

| - | It is also interesting to note that Crackotage's rhyming couplets often seemed to be less and less creative with each of his successive appearances. This culminated in [[Commandos in the Classroom]], where he announced "Movie night is my favorite night. I think it is my favorite night!" prompting Silent Rip to ask him if he was "even trying anymore". Some characters even seem to think that his rhymes are annoying, as he is promptly fired by [[Flashfight]] in [[Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 1]]. When he returns to his job in [[Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 2|Part 2]], all the other Cheat Commandos seem dismayed.
| + | He speaks in rhyming couplets (all ending with a four-syllable laugh), in what is almost certainly a parody of [http://www.joeheadquarters.com/charlist_joes3.shtml#ROADBLOCK Roadblock] from the cartoon version of ''G.I. Joe'' (of which "Cheat Commandos" is a parody), and [[Wikipedia:Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]] from the original ''[[Transformers]]'' cartoon, who also did this. It's worth noting, however, that rather than actually sounding a lot like Roadblock, Crackotage's voice is very similar to that of Jazz from "Transformers" (voiced by [[Wikipedia:Scatman_Crothers|Scatman Crothers]]), who ''didn't'' speak in rhyme, yet this too seems intentional, given the label on his toy packaging, "listens to jazz". Another "Transformers" reference could be how his airplane resembles Starscream. He pretty much lost the ability to speak in couplets in [[Commandos in the Classroom]]. |

| - | In [[The Next Epi-Snowed]], [[Crack Stuntman]] insisted on providing Crackotage's voice instead of Gunhaver's because he liked "the rhyming guy's" lines better. This was explained in the cartoon by [[Reynold]]'s financial experiment backfiring and switching the two character's voices.

| - | In [[Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 1]], Crackotage stops even trying to rhyme after being fired from the Cheat Commandos by [[Flashfight]]. After coming "back as part of the team" in [[Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 2|Part 2]], he openly returns to his rhyming habit, suggesting it may be a part of his job.
